This Barbaresco shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry and plum followed by
aromas of raspberry, violet, rose, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, cocoa,
cinnamon, leather and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol,
full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with
flavors of cherry and plum. A well made wine. This Barbaresco ages for 18
months in cask followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
